Oh! Sorry I dont have any pics, wife wouldnt let me touch the camera with that chit on my hands! HaHa!
If you have a screw hole to repair, feather (sand) the area, cut a small piece of dowel rod or whittle down a piece of wood, (have used a sanded golf tee)add glue to peg and hole, and drive it in the hole till its at least 1/16 below the surface. When its cured fill with gelcoat and sand out. Also sand out any cracks before starting. Be sure to wipe clean with acetone before appling gelcoat!

When I used the west marine gelcoat repair, the stuff was thick and only one coat was required... I also used the "saran wrap" method. Glob in on, and then put the plastic wrap over it until it cured. The kit came with some plastic wrap if I remember correctly. There's great videos on how to do this out there if needed.
